General Discussion rather than just Music Appreciation because it is an example of the damage and tremendous possibilities for future damage by AI and fakes of all kinds in general not just in music but also in film, art etc. There is little doubt that without strong labeling requirements and massive penalties for violations we will see not only a fake "Guess Who" but imagine 30 years from now people watching a film with a fake Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall and thinking it really happened. Imagine people being shown "previously unseen" works by Renoir etc. and they have no idea it is all fake.

Purposely allowing fakery and fraud into our culture under the guise of AI and platitudes about how it will "revolutionize" the world is BS because all you'll end up with is confusion and the fakery and fraud and those who profit from it. We are already seeing music videos that those of us who lived through it know are fake. We are seeing videos of supposed "lost blues artist" this or that and it all looks so real but it is all fake. Every bit of it. So here are the very real Randy and Burton.
